Chapter 782: Killing Four Dao Integration Cultivators With One Saber Move
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The first thing the three of them saw when they landed on the Beyond of Heaven and Earth’s square was that huge altar.
Indeed, seven Dao Integration cultivators were surrounding the altar, and Di Jiu recognized one of them as Nie Changping. He could not see Nuo La and that other lady.
These seven Dao Integration cultivators continuously created and sent Dao runes into the altar, which was completely enveloped by a layer of pitch-black Dao rune aura, evidently almost reaching completion.
“It’s you?” Nie Changping spotted Di Jiu immediately. Without hesitation, he gave up on refining the altar and took out a gray bow and several array flags.
He would definitely not let Di Jiu leave this place again, for the latter had killed his son, Nie Baichi.
“Who is he, Brother Nie?” A skinny early-stage Dao Integration man asked Nie Changping.
Nie Changping replied through gritted teeth, “That is Di Jiu! The weakling who escaped from me and Nuo La.”
Upon hearing that, the remaining six people instantly charged toward Di Jiu, thus blocking his path.
They had heard numerous times that Di Jiu possessed the Reincarnation Bridge. Hence, there was no way they would let Di Jiu leave since he had come back to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth.
This was the Reincarnation Bridge after all. Even if they could not keep it as their personal possession, it would still be extremely beneficial if they seized it with a collaborative effort and gained insight into the Reincarnation Dao Runes.
“Just seven Dao Integration weaklings.” Qian Fuyan completely disregarded them.
In the Land of Seven Chakras, Di Jiu had managed to easily eradicate several hundred experts. Even though this feat had been accomplished with the help of the Reincarnation Bridge, he had yet to use his killing techniques and was clearly not using his full strength.
Di Jiu would have either taken out his array flags or saber array if he had still been at the early-stage Primordial Chaos Realm.
Now, however, he had no intention of using the major array. Instead, he unsheathed the Heavenly Aqua Saber and attacked Nie Changping. He wanted Nie Changping to know that he had come back for revenge and not to deliver the Reincarnation Bridge to them.
The saber screen created by the Heavenly Aqua Saber locked onto Nie Changping and four other Dao Integration cultivators.
There was a total of seven Dao Integration cultivators there, and Di Jiu managed to deal with five of them at once. Yu Xiangbing and Qian Fuyan intercepted the other two early-stage Dao Integration cultivators without hesitation.
“How arrogant!” Di Jiu was courting his own death by using his saber flare Dao runes to envelop four other Dao Integration cultivators even though Nie Changping was pointing the Blood Nether Arrow at him.
The gray bow stretched and bowed as a murderous aura condensed.
Di Jiu seemed to not see the mad state Nie Changping was in, nor did he seem to sense that the murderous aura had bound him. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Aqua Saber continued its downward slas.h.i.+ng motion.
Crack! Nie Changping sensed a crack appearing in his Blood Nether Arrow’s killing intent. Then, the Blood Nether Arrow’s supernormal aura instantly weakened before disintegrating altogether.
This…
Nie Changping’s expression changed drastically. He had never thought that Di Jiu would be able to tear his Blood Nether Arrow supernormal ability’s law apart with one saber move.
The expression of the other four people changed as well. The connection between the supernormal abilities they had just activated and the laws had suddenly been broken.
Before they could react, the saber screen created by Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber unfolded. The four early-stage Dao Integration cultivators were completely helpless against Di Jiu’s domain and saber aura and were all sliced into two. Even their Princ.i.p.al Spirits disintegrated due to the attack of the saber intent.
“You…” Nie Changping, who was stunned, started retreating subconsciously.
He was aware that Di Jiu’s strength was not poor, and that was that. The most frightening thing about Di Jiu was not his cultivation or strength but the Reincarnation Bridge.
Not much time had pa.s.sed since Di Jiu had last been here, and he could already kill four early-stage Dao Integration cultivators with one saber move. Nie Changping, who was a late-stage Dao Integration cultivator, could not even prevent that from happening. All this had happened even though Di Jiu had not taken out the Reincarnation Bridge.
Nie Changping had just taken a few steps back when he sensed that his domain was being suppressed by Di Jiu. He forgot about the Blood Nether Arrow in his hands and was left with only a voice in his head that was screaming how impossible this was.
In the past, Di Jiu had managed to kill Liu Bi despite being attacked by both Nie Changping and Nuo La. However, he had escaped with serious injuries. How was this possible? Only a short time had pa.s.sed, so how could Di Jiu have come back with an exponential strength increase?
Nie Changping and the remaining two Dao Integration cultivators were all shocked by Di Jiu’s display of strength. This was truly frightening, although they had underestimated Di Jiu previously.
Qian Fuyan made use of this opportunity to chop his opponent’s head off.
The early-stage Dao Integration cultivator battling with Yu Xiangbing turned to escape, yet Qian Fuyan had already sealed his path of retreat.
Nie Changping instantly took out a talisman, but Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber landed before he could activate it.
Nie Changping no longer cared about escaping, instead choosing to take out a long dark red saber that exuded killing intent saber flares more violent than those of Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber.
Boom! The blue and dark red saber flares clashed, causing the latter to shatter into uncountable fragmented flares.
Nie Changping could do nothing as he witnessed his saber aura get extinguished and his newly-condensed domain shatter.
Violent Divine Essence engulfed him before he was sent flying backward. While he was in mid-air, he took out the Blood Nether Arrow again.
Nie Changping was now 100 percent certain that he was not Di Jiu’s match. He actually was far inferior to him. He had not taken out the Blood Nether Arrow to injure Di Jiu but in preparation to sacrifice the Blood Nether Arrow and seize this opportunity to survive.
He knew that Di Jiu could sever laws, but he believed that so long as he was careful, his Blood Nether Arrow would not be affected this time.
He had just taken out the Blood Nether Arrow when he saw a giant footprint whose owner he instantly recognized.
Boom! The footprint landed on Nie Changping’s forehead, causing his Spiritual Sea to shatter. He sighed, knowing that he had completely lost the chance to escape.
By simply looking at that supernormal footprint, it was clear as day that Di Jiu had understood the true essence of spatial laws. Nie Changping had also come into contact with spatial laws, but his understanding was like an infant’s against an adult’s compared to that of Di Jiu.
“I knew that killing these Dao Integration cultivators would be a piece of cake for you, Brother Di.” Qian Fuyan had already killed the last early-stage Dao Integration cultivator with Yu Xiangbing.
He was not surprised that Di Jiu had been able to kill four early-stage Dao Integration cultivators with one saber move.
Di Jiu took the few rings, frowned, and said, “Why do I feel that these Dao Integration cultivators are really weak and no different from Primordial Chaos cultivators? The only difference is that their Divine Essence and Spiritual Force are slightly stronger.”
Di Jiu was indeed very confused. He had not battled with Mo Zhou from the Mo Family one on one, but he had sensed Mo Zhou’s killing intent. Moreover, he was certain that Mo Zhou’s killing intent had yet to reach the third step and his killing intent was significantly stronger than that of the Dao Integration cultivators he had killed.
It did not make much sense given that Nie Changping was a late-stage Dao Integration cultivator.
Knowing that he was unlucky, he bellowed, “You would have no chance against me if the Heavenly Union Dao PaG.o.da wasn’t injured. Just what kind of enmity is there between us that made you kill my son and plot against me?”
Nie Changping was indeed feeling depressed. If his memory served him, he did not know Di Jiu.
Di Jiu replied coolly, “I could still kill you instantly even if you were not injured.”
The reason he had escaped from the Beyond of Heaven and Earth while sustaining injuries was because his cultivation level was much lower than that of Nie Changping and Nuo La.
Nie Changping did not refute Di Jiu’s words, knowing very well that the latter was speaking the truth. He would have been no match for Di Jiu even if he had not been injured.
“Big Brother Di, I know a little about this. When I was at the Beyond of Heaven and Earth, I once heard about it. Dao Lord Ye from the Beyond of Heaven and Earth once said that many of the Dao Integration cultivators here have integrated with a pseudo Dao, meaning that even if they attained the third step, it would be a pseudo third step. This might be the case for these people today, which is why you can deal with them so easily,” Yu Xiangbing explained.
In fact, she suspected that she had integrated with a pseudo Dao as well, but at the same time, she had no idea what a ‘true Dao’ was.
Di Jiu nodded. He did not know what a pseudo Dao was, but he was certain that the Dao of these people could not compare to that of Mo Zhou. It seemed that Mo Zhou had escaped a disaster.
